Besides the starting address, each section is described with a number of attributes such as name, size, etc. The recent MicroTESK build (2.4.27) allows using sections in test templates. It supports two predefined sections: .data (constants and variables) and .text (executable code). Also, there is a possibility to define custom sections.
